Not bad. I'd find it hard to go to the C5 platform though, after living with the much more luxurious, and refined D2.

I've had the use of a C5 S6 for about a year, and had the S8 at the same time. The S6 felt quicker although it was heavier, probably because it wasn't as refined, no double glazing etc... D2 all the way.

I've been thinking about a C6 V10 S6 instead of an S8 perhaps

You'll regret it, interior is nowhere near as nice. Same story with the C5 vs D2 and C6 vs D3. Feels like they've made them cheaper on purpose. The worst thing in the S6/RS6 is how high the recaros are seat, I just cannot get comfortable. If I hadn't had the D2 before I would have been fine.

Hardly any price different, 8 every time.

I know and I agree, the difference is the size of my office parking space and how difficult it often was to get my D2 into my space

I'm sure the C6 is longer then the D2.

D2 is pretty much bang on 5 metres long - our c5 '6 is about 30cm shorter. Parkers or similar site will give you exact dimensions for the c6
